The Picture of the day.

He is a Standard grey, a light tone. He dream is become a Spideman in his own cage in coming future.

Here i attached the picture..[attachmentid=637771]

HAIYO! Very cute la! Your chin so tame lor, can let you take picture and STILL sleeping!!! Time for you to work hard of get rit of the fungus on eyes and nose area real hard already. The longer it stay, the less chance your chin fur regrow, some time does not grow again. If your fungus powder does not work, I will send you some of mine.

7Rainbow - Swing bed is nice size for your chin till 750gram. Your chin will do yo-yo on the wing bed.

Picture for today! My VioletStar! Very meaty fellow, very nauty and tame chin. Love the fur!!!

I was suprise that my Chinchila climb up from my hand to shoulder last nite. he climb up and down few times and some time sit longer at my shoulder. One thing is, he still not letting me to touch him.

Tinactina, we can't get here, but the fungus is very easy to treat one... won't upgrade your chin to stay in heaven la...

Another way is, us a cotton bud, brush some fungus powder on the cotton bud you get fro pharmacy, then brush is directly on the nose, but the eyes is very teknical, if you want do it, please be very careful. OR You double up your dosage on the dust bath, now put in 2 teaspoons, maybe is too little. It will work. At the same time, keep you chin enviroment as dry as possible, recently keep on raining, sure very easy to get if not in AC room.

Haha, is 800g la, the butt is very big indeed, that's why i love to picik their butt!  

SOS

My Chinchilla is having diarrhoea yesterday. I got information from (http://www.eotc-pets.com/health.html)

One of the best treatments is brown well done/burnt toast, the charcoal is good for the problem and helps dry up the Diarrhea. Give this a few times daily. Allow only fresh pellets and water for 24hrs (no hay or treats). If more severe sometimes it is best is to starve the chin for 12hrs, allowing only water.
Burnt toast, pellets and water for the next 24hrs. You can also allow your Chin 1tsp of yoghurt; You can give 2 or 3tsp of this during the 24 hour period after the starvation at various times during the day. Your chinny will love it as well as it helping to make him better. This helps balance out the bacteria in the digestive system.
Kaolin liquid (available from chemists) can be given daily, 1-3ml.

I am doing the 1st step now by taking away hay (both timothy and alfalfa) and feed only pellets and fresh water. Observed less frequents of Diarrhea and more solid pop. Is it normal or causing another issue of “Constipation”. BTW, am I on the right path or any other better solution?
There are many option of treatment, what is the best next step should I follow? Please advice.

This is really perturbing and I monitor him and clean the pop instantly until 2am in the morning. Plan to take a day off to take care of him but work load not allow.

BTW, as mention by Chinchilas, the food i have now is junk food, can anyone in penang lent me some Kaytee pellets while waiting online purchase delivery from chubby pets as recommeneded by chinchillas.

Meantime i am feeding them the pellet i seperate from the junk food from both Vatakraft for rabbit and Prestige for chinchila. (he dun like the pellets from prestige).

how does the cooling pad work?

Chinchilas and shingin,

I am completely loss and panic until i read your comment and advice. 10q 10q 10q 10q 10q......

I rush back home during lunch to change pellet to timothy hay. Pray hard for his recover now.

I will take really really good care for him.

BTW, although diarrhea, he is still very active. Jump here jump there.

He allow me to hold him now, wonder bc he is ill or start keen to me.

Here i attach more pic. ( b4 cage modification )

[attachmentid=640637]

Yeah !!! Yahoo !!!

His pop back to normal after consuming lots of timothy hay ..... Solid and dry !!!  Its works !!!
but i still let him to rest "Kau Kau" 1st. Anyway, i am trying to clean up his leg that was contaminate by his pop during diarrhea. Its not easy though to clean without stress him.

I dunno wat to do without you all bc life experiance is better than book.

Thanks for all the concern, gretting, advice and guildance.

Very easy, just take him to your toilet and let him bath there, after that you 'pop pop' him to lose some dust before placr him back to your room. BUT chinchilla's dust bath is very fine, is DUST, so no matter how you 'pop pop' him, he will carry some back to the cage and when he move around, some thin layer will appear on your cabinet surface that near him.

What I will do is, routine a dust bath session, after dust bath, wide the room next day, not at that moment. 

Hmm.... quite expen than i tot actually....  
My location now is at KL,Wangsa Maju...
Was hoping to get a budget lower than 1k
